Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My third grade class is comprised of a diverse group of students with very difficult lives outside of the classroom. My students come to school every day with a smile on their face, eager to learn. Unfortunately, for many of them, school is the one stable thing in their life. For this reason, the majority of the students choose to stay an additional two hours after school four days a week to get extra help, in our Academic After school program.

My students live in the projects surrounding the school, or in one of the many shelters in New York City.

For this reason, the financial burden of purchasing classroom supplies falls on my co-teacher and myself. With a lack of resources, we are unable to buy all of the books that we need in order for the students to avid readers. In addition to books, there are many other supplies that we would like to purchase to support our curriculum. It is important to me to create a classroom where my students feel safe and welcome. I would also like to be able to create the best environment conducive to learn.

My Project

Some students do their best learning sitting on the rug. However, not everyone does. I have a few students who do their best work laying down on the rug or moving around in their chair. As a teacher I try to embrace my students and their different learning styles.

In order to help these learners achieve their goals in the classroom, I have looked for specific items, such as the balance disc, that will help students be able to move around and learn.

Other items like the Go Anywhere Teacher Chair will be for students who prefer working on the rug, rather than at their seats. In addition, I have included headphones for all the students so that earn we use the school computers each student have their own. It is important to me that all of my students succeed, but some just need extra support.
